50 Most Rewatchable Movie Scenes - 50. Saving Private Ryan - Omaha Beach

 I have so many list and blog ideas. I need to finish James Bond movies, I’m working on TV intros and sometime eventually I’ll do baseball movies. This one will be counting down my 50 most rewatchable movie scenes. Recency bias is definitely in effect here. Music had a big influence on my selections. About a third of them are either song numbers directly or the song influences how I feel about it. Some were tough cuts with music like Aladdin and The Lion King or more obscure ones like Bad Times at the El Royale. These are not the greatest movie scenes of all time and not necessarily my favorite of all time but the ones I keep coming back to. I also found myself cutting movies where I couldn’t just pick one scene. I never picked two scenes from one movie, though I do have multiple Star Wars and Avengers on here. Things like Goodfellas, The Thing, Fight Club, Interstellar, Terminator 2, Back to the Future are all terrific but there is not one scene that I keep coming back to. If I do...

Top 30 Movies I Want To See In 2025

It's been awhile since I've done one of these but someone inspired me. Top 30 Movies I Want To See In 2016 I have a complete list of 45 so I will go quickly. Not many decent pictures. Sometimes it's hard to know if a specific movie won't ever get made (Gambit) or gets delayed for a long time (Avatar 2), but everyone just gives their best prediction based on what is expected. 15 Movies that have potential enough for me to mention but not good enough to make a top 30 list. Hand of Dante - Is this a real movie? Gerard Butler, Martin Scorsese, Gal Gadot, Oscar Isaac, Jason Momoa and Al Pacino,  28 Years Later - Didn't really love the first two. No Cillian Murphy. The third one is usually the worst, especially after a long delay between two and three. Tron: Ares  - Didn't really like the first two. And Jared Leto ugh. The third one is usually the worst, especially after a long delay between one and two. Ash - Space horror reminds me of Prometheus from the screenshot...

My Top Ten Movies and Bottom Ten Movies I Watched This Year. (2024)

To be clear, these lists include every movie that I've watched this year, whether the movie came out in 2024 or not. My list would be much smaller if that was a limitation. My film total this year was just about 200 but there are a good number of re-watches in that count. I'm about to list just about every new to me movie I've watched lately. Two movies which would probably be considered classics that I finally watched: My Cousin Vinny and Point Break I liked Vinny much more than Break. Vinny is a courtroom comedy that didn't make me laugh out loud very much but I was having fun. Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei work well together. Joe Pesci is a treasure. Point Break hurt my ears and my eyes. There were long scenes of soft rock playing against the waves. Fade ins and outs, one or two good scenes but the whole thing felt like a slog. Neither Patrick, nor Keanu impressed me. One movie I didn't know what to make of was The Exorcist: Believer . It was both worse ...
